Syria welcomes senior Assad officer from Lebanon
The Syrian authorities received Major General Adel Issa from Lebanon. He is a former officer in the remnants of the Assad regime's army, and his detention was carried out based on a Lebanese arrest warrant issued in absentia by the Lebanese judiciary, charging him with war crimes during the Syrian revolution. Issa was the commander of the 17th Division and the commander of the land forces in Deir Ez-Zor until 2016. He is accused of committed intentional killings, torture, and crimes aimed at inciting civil war and sectarian fighting. Issa was detained in Lebanon after the Syrian embassy informed Lebanese authorities that he was wanted by the courts, and he was subsequently handed over to Damascus to face Syrian justice.
